The tormented wraith is the spirit of a prisoner who was tortured and killed long ago by the Kinshra (Black Knights). It resides in the Spirit Realm and can be accessed through the invisible portal at the centre of the Dark Warriors' Fortress, using Jennica's ring. To access the portal, equip Jennica's ring, right click and use the "Operate" function while standing in front of the hanging skeleton. Completion of Summer's End is required to access this area.

The wraith can only be attacked if you wear either regular or elite black armour (helm, body, legs) and have equipped a black item in both the main- and off-hand weapon slots. While in combat with the tormented wraith, players cannot change their equipped items.

Messages from the tormented wraith often show up in the chatbox. Players who are not wearing a ghostspeak amulet (or completed Morytania hard tasks) only see "Woo wooo woo", but players with one equipped may see the following messages:

It was once possible to fight the tormented wraith from a safespot, but this was eventually removed. On 2 September2009, Mod Emilee confirmed that the removal was unintentional:

“

"Did you remove some of the safe spots on purpose?"

No, they were affected by the game engine changes.

We shall be investigating them on a case by case basis.

Attempting to unequip a piece of equipment results in a chat box message, "You can't get yourself to change equipment in the presence of the angry wraith."

If you attempt to attack the wraith without the correct equipment, the chat box says, "You raise your weapon to attack the wraith, but for some strange reason you find yourself physically unable to go through with it."
